Spreading its Wings

Boil water warning lifted in Aldergrove DA N F E R G US ON Time s Re po rte r

Four-year-old Lila Hjerpe watches with aunt Dana Dunham as a young monarch butterfly beats its wings for the first time in the great outdoors after being released alongside hundreds of other butterflies at Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery Saturday (July 5). The first annual community butterfly release raised funds for the Langley Lodge and Langley Hospice Society, with donations earmarked for the development of therapeutic recreation programming and expanded palliative care and grief support programs.

It is once again safe to drink the water in Aldergrove. On Monday afternoon, Fraser Health lifted a boil water advisory that had been in place since late Friday. Samples taken since the issuance of the precautionary boil water advisory on Friday showed that the system is clean and free of any traces of coliform. Two consecutive tests have since been taken, and both the Township of Langley and Fraser Health are satisfied that the water is safe to drink and use without first being boiled. A notice issued by the Township and the Fraser Health Authority on Friday said people should boil their drinking water for at least one minute before drinking because a “low level of coliform

bacteria was detected at a water sampling point in a local neighbourhood.” The advisory applied to the municipal water supply east of 260 Street and west of 276 Street and north of 24 Avenue and south of 36 Avenue. Further sampling and testing is being conducted, the advisory says. Fraser Health recommended people flush out all water fixtures for at least a minute, drain and flush all ice-making machines in refrigerators, and drain and re-fill hot water tanks set below 45 degrees Celsius. To make sure tap water was safe, it was recommended that it be brought to a rapid, rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, making infant formula and juices, cooking, brushing teeth, washing raw foods and making ice, the notice said.

Cloverdale murder suspect arrested in Langley D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A Langley man wanted in connection with a Cloverdale murder was captured in his home town Friday night, police said. Barry McQuarrie was arrested inside a residential garage without incident shortly before midnight by officers of the regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team along with Langley RCMP, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, RCMP helicopter Air One and a police dog team. Police said the owners of the house were

not connected to McQuarrie. IHIT said following his arrest, the 33-yearold McQuarrie was charged with first degree murder in the May death of Gregory Quesnelle, 32, originally from southern Ontario. On May 12, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a man being shot at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue.

rie as a suspect, a man called CTV News claiming to be McQuarrie. He denied killing Quesnelle, but admitted they were at odds over a woman and he had pepper sprayed his rival in self-defence days before the murder. “I didn’t go back and kill him,” the man said. “I just want them [the police] to know I’m not armed and dangerous. I’m not trying to hurt anyone. I’m just trying to stay out of jail.” He said he planned on keeping his freedom as long as possible.

“I want to enjoy as much of the summer as I possibly can,” the man said. “When the time comes after the summer, maybe I’ll hand myself in. Maybe.” McQuarrie was wanted on a number of other charges unrelated to the murder. Court records show he has a number aliases, including Nicholas Randell McQuarrie, Richard Laary, Barry Bayer, Bad Ass Barry, and just Badass. McQuarrie appeared in court on Monday. — with files from Kevin Diakiw and CTV News
